Interpack 2023: Endoline Robotics to demonstrate fast and versatile Case Packer. Stand E34, Hall 8b

We are pleased to announce we will have representatives from Endoline Robotics at Interpack 2023.

Interpack is the world’s largest and most important trade fair for the packaging sector and related process industries. With 2583 exhibitors from 55 countries, for packaging machinery, there’s simply nothing as big as interpack!

Showcasing the Delta 3000 Top Loading Case Packer at the forthcoming Interpack, Endoline Robotics (stand E34, Hall 8b) is set to demonstrate the benefits of automation, and the quick return on investment which can be achieved.

Like the company’s palletising systems, the first range launched under the Endoline Robotics division, each case packer is designed and built by Endoline to accommodate various packaging types: bottles, pillow packs, SRP packaging etc.

With a variable throughput speed depending on the application, the case packing systems can also be suited to match a product’s shape and orientation. As with all Endoline systems, the case packer is modular in design and can be fully integrated into existing production lines.

Each Endoline system can also be integrated into a manufacturer’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to provide a turnkey operation with real-time data reporting capabilities. Through OEM partnerships, Endoline are also able to integrate additional elements into a line, including stretch wrapping, conveyoring and labelling systems making the line seamless and fully automated.

If you are visiting Interpack and would like to meet with us please send us an email to arrange an appointment.

Endoline will be showcasing the Delta 3000 Top Loading Case Packer at the forthcoming Interpack.

Endoline launches eco-friendly sealing solutions

Directly responding to increasing calls for automation which supports its customers objectives to drive down plastic, Endoline showcased a case sealer with 100% recyclable paper tape at the PPMA Total show.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) accredited tape, which will now be an available option across all Endoline systems, falls below the plastic tax threshold and will help customers significantly drive down plastic usage.

Alongside the 714 Semi-Automatic Random Case Sealer, which has been fitted with the recyclable kraft paper tape, Endoline also highlighted its 248 Fully Automatic High Speed Case Erector, which has been engineered to seal cases with hot melt glue rather than tape.

While utilising glue sealing alternatives can significantly reduce plastic consumption for manufacturers, it also helps drive down material waste as 2 square inches of adhesive glue will close an average size box compared with over 200 square inches of tape.

For over 40 years, Endoline has designed and engineered systems to meet the direct needs of its customers, from speed and flexibility, to driving down noise emissions and energy consumption.

“We have seen a significant uplift in customers seeking sealing options which supports their ambitions to cut plastic use,” comments Andrew Yates, Managing Director of Endoline. “As a result, we have explored alternative methods to offer our customers the best possible glue and sealing options to meet their needs and we are delighted that both of these solutions will be showcased at the PPMA Total Show.”

In addition to meeting manufacturers sustainability objectives, the 714 Semi-Automatic Random Case Sealer also responds to growing calls for systems to manage a range of case sizes.

“We are seeing increasing numbers of new automation adopters demanding systems which are capable of sealing an assortment of case sizes,” Andrew comments. “Traditionally the mainstay of e-commerce organisations and snack manufacturers, we are now witnessing demand for random systems filter into the mainstream as companies struggle to recruit manual workers.”

Capable of sealing random cases down to a height of just 110mm, the 714 Semi-Automatic Random Case Sealer enables the operator to seal cases of different dimensions in any order with no manual adjustment at speeds of up to 11 cases per minute.

Endoline Automation to showcase eco-friendly sealing solutions at PPMA 2022

At PPMA 2022 (Stand D50) Endoline Automation will highlight the sustainable features of its end-of-line packaging systems, and eco-friendly sealing options in a bid to support manufacturers who are seeking packaging machinery which will aid net zero objectives.

Responding to calls for sustainable sealing solutions which reduce the use of plastic, Endoline will showcase its 248 Fully Automatic High Speed Case Erector, which has been engineered to seal cases with hot melt glue rather than tape.

While utilising glue sealing alternatives can significantly reduce plastic consumption for manufactures, it also helps drive down material waste as 2 square inches of adhesive glue will close an average size box compared with over 200 square inches of tape.

Further responding to demands to create eco-friendly sealing solutions, Endoline will also highlight recyclable Kraft tape as an additional eco-friendly sealing alternative.

The British manufacturer, who has been creating end-of-line machinery solutions for over 40 years, will also demonstrate the eco credentials across its case erecting and sealing system ranges. Including power saving features which reduce energy consumption, and the use of servo drives to significantly drive down noise emissions whilst only using power while operating.

“We are seeing growing calls from customers for OEMs to demonstrate their sustainable credentials, and this is driving innovation in the packaging machinery space,” comments Andrew Yates, Managing Director of Endoline Automation.

“While our systems have been re-engineered over the years to reduce energy consumption and cut emissions to support the environmental objectives of our customers, we are looking at ways to help them decrease plastic use and waste even further by offering eco-friendly sealing alternatives.”

Endoline Automation partners with SERPAC to increase presence in France

Endoline Automation, one of the UK’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of end-of-line packaging machines has announced an exciting new French distributor partnership with SERPAC.

The agreement will see SERPAC manage the distribution of Endoline Automation’s system solutions across France and meet the country’s growing need for automation.

A well-established company, SERPAC offers innovative machines and solutions for some of the largest global brands, mainly in the food and cosmetic industries, working with high quality capital equipment manufacturers.

With a huge customer base in France, SERPAC has developed particular expertise within the snacks sector of the food market.

A British manufacturer with over 40 years of engineering expertise, Endoline Automation has a long established reputation for engineering high quality case erecting and case sealing machinery. Significantly, Endoline’s engineering capabilities enables them to customise systems, incorporating technical design components, to meet the specific needs of its global customer base.

With a presence in over 20 countries, through direct customer sales and distributor relationships, Endoline’s partnership with SERPAC is underpinned by the reputation both companies have within the snacks industry. “For many years, Endoline has worked with globally renowned snack manufacturers, setting new standards in end-of-line machinery design to meet the packaging needs of this fast paced sector,” comments James Ramsay, Endoline Automation’s Export Sales Manager.

“We are delighted to announce this new relationship with SERPAC as they complement our expertise, particularly within the snacks market, and we hope to be able to increase our presence within France with them.”

The acceleration of end-of-line packaging automation over the last decade had led SERPAC to investigate the best solution to link our presence in the food market with the control of end-of-line equipment,” comments SERPAC’s Alain Copigny. “The decision of SERPAC and ENDOLINE to cooperate perfectly meets the requirement to offer a complete range of case erecting, packing, taping and/or gluing equipment, and listen to the real needs of each customer in order to provide an individualised solution. Working with Endoline, we are perfectly equipped to assert these points.”

Leading UK arts and crafts supplier meets volume increase with Endoline systems

Endoline Automation has supported the growth of a leading UK supplier of arts and crafts following a growth in demand during the pandemic.

Co-founded in 1974, Baker Ross supplies arts & crafts, educational and fundraising products to schools, playgroups and organisations across the UK. The company offers over 3,000 items through its website and catalogue, which are packaged up and shipped from its head office in Harlow, Essex.

Endoline Automation originally supported Baker Ross when they automated their end of line packaging production back in 2018. Due to the large range of case sizes Baker Ross packs, Endoline recommended the installation of its 225 Fully Automatic Case Erector and its 714 Semi-Automatic Random Case Sealer.

Boxes are formed on the 225 and then taken off around the warehouse for orders to be picked and packed into. The random sized boxes are then hand fed into the 714, which automatically adjusts itself to the box size being presented to it.

During the Covid-19 lockdowns, Baker Ross experienced a rise in orders being sent out directly to end users at home rather than to schools and clubs, so the volume of boxes needing to be packed increased with over 1.2 million boxes despatched in 2021.

When Baker Ross moved to a new, larger facility to accommodate growth, they took the 225 and 714 machines with them and approached Endoline for two further machines to help them manage the increased volume.

This time, Endoline recommended the installation of its 221 Fully Automatic Case Erector dedicated to forming Baker Ross’ higher volume, smaller cases. Running at speeds of 12 cases per minute, the 221 feeds into Endoline’s 7048 Fully Automatic Random Case Sealer via a new conveyor.

Working alongside the hand fed 714, the 7048 automatically accept cases from the new conveyor and automatically closes and seals cases at a speed of 12 per minute without operator intervention. Very lightweight cases are diverted to the hand-fed 714.

“We have been using Endoline as our preferred partner for the past 3 years and have their Case Erector and Case Sealer,” comments John Hurdle, Warehouse Operations Director for Baker Ross. “We recently moved to much bigger premises and as a result of a growth in business and customer demand, we found ourselves in need of additional systems. Our colleagues have found the equipment easy to operate and I am very happy with the service we receive. We would not hesitate in recommending them as a supplier to any business who is looking to streamline labour costs and improving production speed.”

Endoline Automation helps SME cut packing time by 40%

An SME, who witnessed a significant increase in sales during the Covid lockdown, has reported a 40% reduction in packing time due to the installation of a case erector and case sealer by Endoline Automation, enabling them to expand their business.

The company, which was founded four years ago, laser engraves gifts which are sold via its website. Faced with an unprecedented rise in demand during the first Covid lockdown, and a reduction in manual staff due to restrictions, the company was managing 200 orders a day which involved erecting, packing, and sealing cases by hand.

The spokesperson for the company, comments: “It was a laborious, time consuming job and with just one or two members of staff working at any one time, there was a risk of RSI. In addition, running this process manually for long spells would inevitably lead to human error and, as a gift business, we needed to ensure that the quality of our work was reflected in the presentation of the box.”

Taking the decision to make its first step into automation, the company contacted Endoline who recommended the installation of its 102 Semi-Automatic Case Erector, and its 714 Semi-Automatic Random Case Sealer.

Since 70% of the company’s business is engraved bottles, Endoline’s 102 Case Erector was the ideal solution as it can be set at an angled position for ease of packing unstable products into cases. The cases are formed on the machine, packed, and then pushed through to the 714 case sealer which can seal cases of different dimensions in any order with no manual adjustment.

Endoline Automation also worked with the company to change the orientation of the boxes to open lengthways for ease of forming, packing, and sealing. According to the company by automating the process, they have almost halved the time it takes to erect, pack, and seal the cases.

Currently, the company has four different case sizes running on the machines, but the installation of Endoline’s equipment has enabled them to increase both the case sizes and throughput. “Endoline talked us through the entire process to ensure that our needs were met, and that the solution they recommended would support us well into the future.

 By automating, we now have the confidence to increase our business, and are pursuing options to sell our products through Amazon and eBay,” the spokesperson concluded.

“Endoline are synonymous with creating high, quality customised equipment but we also work very closely with SME’s to help them take that first step into automation, supporting them as their business grow,” comments Mark Budd, Sales Manager for Endoline Automation.

The company has cut packing time of its laser engraved gifts by 40% by automating its end of line packaging operation.
